Bee's Knees Wax Melts Release
PRESS SAMPLES
WAX RELEASE AND HOLIDAY SCENTS
DAY 11 of  12 DAYS OF DEALS
 I received 5 of the 6 scents in wax and the last in scroap so I'll add my thoughts on that one too. These will be $4.50 regular price for 4oz. Don't forget about the free/discounted internationally/combined shipping running through the 12th! Deals start at 12pm EST. Bee's Knees recommends allowing 2 weeks cure time from the pour date for the best throw. (reach of the scent.) In order to complete this review before release I wasn't able to wait that time. These still have really good throw. I used one square each.

12 Days of Deals
Most of the deals are still in stock!

Here I reviewed some previous scents and some will be included in the wax release such as Come Home Nell, The Bentneck Lady, and The Twin Thing.

NEVER FEED AFTER MIDNIGHT

gingersnap cookies combine with the decadent scent of s'mores and a touch of cool fall air.
This is mostly gingerbread to me but the cool fall air rounds it out nicely. Filled half of my house quickly, around 500 sq ft. This does not actually have any glitter, I failed to wipe it all out from the previous tart.

WHAT'S THIS?
a blend of freshly fallen snow, cinnamon, fir, and vanilla
 I always love scents with "snow". No idea what actual scent that is (google says the presence of less odors) but it's very fresh and clean, almost laundry like. This one has really filled my house! I actually switched it off after a while because it was strong enough. That means it will last longer. :)

SANTA'S SLAY
equal parts cinnamon and cooling peppermint
This one is mostly cinnamon to me with something slightly herbal on cold sniff but warm both notes are noticeable and go together so nicely. Very strong throw, filled the whole house quickly, 1000+ sq ft, one floor.
melt video


THE PUMPKIN KING
warming combination of clove, cardamom, bourbon, and pumpkin
This filled half of my house quickly. Strong on pumpkin and cardamom.
melt video


CHEER OF FEAR
pepper and cinnamon mix with sweet vanilla and cherry tobacco
This is a mellow cherry on cold sniff and I love it. Warm it is very unique and somewhat odd but I still like it. Filled the whole house easily. 

melt video


KRAMPUS CLAWS
-smells of everything spicy and gingerbread with a little added touch of sweet chai.
I recieved this in scroap form. It's a little more on the foody side than I usually enjoy but I love spices and all of these are foods heavily spiced so I actually do like it!

Bee's Knees Avengers duo
PRESS SAMPLES

Greetings earthlings! Bee's Knees Lacquer is having 12 days of releases, deals and sales! 12/5 brings the release of 2 new Avenger themed polishes. What's so cool about this 12 days is that shipping is free in the US and discounted elsewhere. Shipping will be held until the end of the 12 days and combined if you make more than one purchase. 


WHAT DID IT COST?

Described as a murky mustard with magnetic multichrome microflakes that shift from green to pink.

The mustard isn't visible in the end result but lends opacity . This is super shifty and beautiful. I used different magnets for each nail. I bought a cheap set on AliExpress. The ring nail is the Masura stick magnet.

3 coats with topcoat, magnetized after each coat for 30-60 secs.

Clean up slightly difficult as the microflakes stick to skin. Easy to use viscosity

I took natural light photos but they didn't actually add anything, just as shifty in natural light.

$13

T5 full spectrum lights, very close to sun

EVERYTHING

Described as a grape purple full of multichrome flakes that shift a rainbow of colors. I would describe this as Mardi Gras in a bottle. More opaque than the bright lights make it appear.

3 coats with topcoat. Flakes lay down nicely but do stick to skin somewhat. Good viscosity and dry time. Shown with glossy and matte topcoat.

About me

Hello lovely readers and thank you for visiting my fledgling blog!
I found the indie community at a time my Narcolepsy was at its worst. Polish and makeup gave me something fun and low impact to do and pretty to look at. Pretty makes you feel a little better, ya know? Fast forward 3 years and I was frustrated with the lack of polish swatches available in various and natural light sources. I finally decided to try my hand at blogging and am dedicated to providing accurate swatches in as many light sources as possible. Additionally many indie brands do not provide makeup swatches on a persons face which I find very helpful. I currently post my makeup reviews and looks on Instagram but plan to start including them here too. I am not a writer, unless it's poetry so expect my posts to generally be to the point and full of photos. Oh yeah, about me. I am 26, coming up on my 6th wedding anniversary in a few months and am a fur mom to an adorable ferret who sleeps even more than me.

Disclosure

This blog is a public account of my personal opinions. Anything that is posted is not absolute, products perform differently based on body chemistry, climate,ect and results will be different for everyone. I strive to keep information and photos as accurate as possible. If any advice, suggestions, or tips provided on this blog cause issue with the audience, I am not held accountable. I am not a licensed nail technician or an expert.
I purchase most of these products myself. If a product was sent for review from a brand or person, I will mention it in the blog post. Any products sent for review will have a link pointing to the brand or where to purchase the product. If I receive an item for review it is considered a gift therefore there is not return. I do not get compensated for my opinion on products; any thoughts on the product are my true opinion. Any product claim made in the blog post should be verified with the provider.

I accepts products for review from brands and public relations representatives. Receipt of a product, whether solicited or unsolicited, does not constitute a contract for a published review of the product or for the substance of any content produced that discusses the product. I does not guarantee favorable reviews and does not do paid positive product reviews. Review content is not pre-approved by PR representatives or brands. All products received are deemed to be gifts/commercial samples that do not form a contract for review.


If you wish to send me a product for review, you may inquire at apolishednarcoleptic@gmail.com. I will try to answer within 24 hours of the inquiry to let you know. I do accept products, however I will always give my honest opinion and if there is a problem with the product, I will report it to my readers. I will try my best to post a review in a reasonable time frame. Images posted in reviews may be used by those providing the product - however, I do require that you link back to this blog.
